ANCHORAGE, Alaska – The father of an 18-year-old Alaska woman who police say was abducted at gunpoint from her espresso stand is pleading for her safe return.
KTUU (http://bit.ly/w2eH5H ) says James Koenig gathered with friends, family and supporters in Anchorage Saturday to send out a message to the captors of his daughter, Samantha Koenig.
The teen works as a barista at the Common Grounds Espresso stand, where police say a security camera caught an armed man kidnapping her Wednesday evening. Thousands of fliers have been distributed, and the teen's family is offering more than $12,500 as a reward for her return.
James Koenig wants the captors to know that he'll give them anything for her safe return, and that they don't have to go through police.
